The Travis Hearn Podcast

Graham Furtick is the 18-year-old son of Pastor Steven and Holly Furtick, lead pastors of Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the founder of "The Living Room" — a student-led worship movement. In this episode, Graham joins Pastor Travis Hearn to share his story: a retreat moment in eighth grade that he couldn't shake, a Sunday-night Bible study started with four friends in his parents' playroom, and how that small group grew into a movement of a thousand students in a single school year. Graham and Travis talk about the weight of growing up under a spiritual microscope as a pastor's kid, what it means to worship without caring who's watching, and why he's challenging students to stop waiting to start living out their faith.

Reece Cook is an artist, worship leader, and content creator with over 600K Instagram followers and 1.3M on TikTok. Before he knew Jesus, he was chasing music, fame, and fortune — from a college dorm room to the rooms of major label artists in LA. In this episode, Reece sits down with Pastor Travis to share the story of his salvation at Impact Church's Rally Conference, what it cost him to go public with his faith, and how he and his wife Raylene have learned to run the same race at the same pace. Together they unpack baptism, sanctification, and what it really means to have courage — not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward anyway.

Pastor Travis sits down with Emy Moore Brookins — content creator, minister, and wife of Malik Brookins — for a raw conversation about faith, influence, and getting rooted in Christ. Emy went viral at 16 with zero faith background, then found Jesus at 17 through a neighbor's "dining table ministry" and a prophetic word — though it took two years of sanctification before her life actually caught up to her salvation. In this episode, Emy and Travis dig into why she believes Gen Z's entitlement is really a symptom of deep neglect, the line between influencing and unintentionally becoming a teacher, what it looks like to be "planted" instead of a tumbleweed Christian, and the real difference between genuine church hurt and the buzzword version. She closes out by walking through POIMA — her personal Bible study framework (Prayer, Observation, Interpretation, Meditation, Application) — and prays over pastors and listeners to close the episode.

What happens when the miracle doesn't come the way you expected?

Pastor Travis Hearn sits down with his brother and close friend Montell Jordan — yes, This Is How We Do It — for one of the most raw and real conversations we've ever had on this podcast.

Montell opens up about his two-year journey through prostate cancer — the diagnosis, the surgery, the recurrence, and the moment his doctor called him on Christmas morning to say the words every cancer patient prays to hear.

Travis reflects on his own stroke recovery and together these two men unpack what it actually looks like to trust God not just after the fire — but while you're still in it.

Montell drops one of the most powerful reframes you'll hear: expectation is prepaid resentment. And why living in anticipation of God changes everything.

This episode is for anyone waiting on a miracle. Anyone who has been through the fire. And anyone who needs to be reminded that God is good — even when it doesn't look the way you planned.

What happens when a six-year-old boy picks up a snare drum in New Orleans and God decides to take it from there?

Lyle Phillips is the lead pastor of Legacy Church Nashville, which he planted in 2016 with his wife Alison. Before pastoring, Lyle spent years battling addiction, homelessness, and near-death — before encountering God in a drug house at 21 years old. Following his conversion, he moved to Mozambique and then India, where his nonprofit Mercy 29 rescued over 400 children from human trafficking. Legacy Church now runs three Sunday morning services and a fourth location in Franklin, Tennessee. Lyle is a husband, father of four, and a preacher with a story that proves God wastes nothing.

Born and raised on the Big Island, Mike’s life took a sharp turn in college. Partying. Fighting. Lost. Then an unexpected pregnancy changed everything. At 20 years old, he became a father, left school, worked multiple jobs, and fought for custody — all while wrestling with shame, rejection, and the fear that his future was over.

But everything changed the day he walked into a church cafeteria and encountered the presence of God.

This is more than a testimony.

It’s a conversation about:

From working at Pizza Hut and pumping gas… to preaching around the world and leading Inspire Church for over two decades — Mike’s story proves that grace doesn’t waste your past.

If you’ve ever felt behind…

This episode is for you.

Broken beginnings don’t cancel destiny.

Watch. Share. And don’t count yourself out.

In this powerful conversation, Pastor Naeem Fazal shares his journey from being born and raised Muslim in the Middle East to becoming a Christian pastor in America.

After surviving the Gulf War and growing up under Islamic tradition, Naeem threatened to kill his own brother for converting to Christianity. But everything changed the night he had a supernatural encounter — and met Jesus in his bedroom.

This episode dives into:

• Islam and Sharia law

This is not a debate.

If you’ve wrestled with fear, identity, faith, or purpose — this conversation is for you.

Ross was born through artificial insemination and raised by two lesbian moms, growing up completely outside of the church. At just 15 years old, he was invited to church and encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time—an encounter that radically transformed his life. In that moment, Ross surrendered everything to Jesus and was born again.

After attending college in San Diego, earning his degree, and running multiple businesses, Ross sensed the Lord speaking clearly in 2020: “If you don’t stand now, you never will.”

That word marked a turning point. Ross resigned from his full-time career and stepped fully into his calling to preach the Gospel and contend for revival.

Today, his heart burns to see:

This episode is a reminder that no background, no past, and no label is beyond the reach of God’s grace.
